We continue our focus on the legal battle over the pending deportation of former Miss South Africa contestant, Chidimma Adetshina and the South African department. As Adetshina's legal team fights back, arguing that she was an innocent child when her Mozambican mother allegedly obtained her identify documents through fraudulent means, this case is exposing massive cracks in South Africa's immigration system. To discuss the implications of this case for the citizenship of children born to foreign national parents who obtained South African identity documents fraudulently, Peter Ndoro spoke to the President of the Nigeria Union South Africa and immigration lawyer, Nwobi Smart.

South Africa's Parliament's Impeachment committee on President Cyril Ramaphosa, is expected to meet this morning (Wednesday) to elect an evidence leader from a shortlist of five senior advocates. The committee was established following a ruling of the Constitutional court in May - directing that it should investigate whether President Ramaphosa should be removed from office, relating to the stolen money from his private game farm in the Limpopo province. Ramaphosa launched an urgent bid in the Western Cape High court to halt the committee from proceeding with its work, pending his review application of the Section 89 Independent Panel report. Judgment regarding the urgent interdict is expected to be heard on Friday. We now speak to Lawson Naidoo,  Executive Secretary of the Council for the Advancement of the South African Constitution (CASAC)
